pics of stuff on my bike now and future...

BTW LMT - "the side covers look bit chin"? Not sure what that means! Is it some obscure Californian dialect?

Chinsy or the appearance of not being very well made is what I believe LMT was referring to. OK...now I feel old...:w

 

[JimmyR]

Oh - "chintzy". :-( Oh well, I like 'em! Don't worry, I feel old all the time now. The only good thing about having a teenage sone is the girls he brings home - except that it makes me feel even older... Sigh.

Anyway I finally found the mirrors I like. I really like these - Oberons from the UK. I can put the faux Rizomas back on my other bike.

 

[B06Tang]

I like the designs on those mirrors...they seem real functional

oh - phew! Thanks for the clarification!

Haven't heard from the powdercoaters yet. Dammit I'm gonna call 'em...

 

[B06Tang]

My mistake...I will shut up and color in the future

How cool does it look when you get rid of the rectifier? Well, not get rid of it, but move it from the front.

I was going to do the "open frame" look on mine but now that I see how great those side panels look I might have to buy them

not trying to thread-jack!

 

[JimmyR]

That fuel tank looks great! Did you just strip the paint off? What's the metal like under the paint?

Finally... Got my fenders from the powdercoaters. Seems like I spend half my life waiting for powdercoaters. Oh well, i guess it saves me money by slowing me down...

So here are the new fenders in place:

My bike is getting closer to how I want it - from behind:

And showing what a long shadow it casts over the Bonneville scene.

Looks great, noticed the front fender brace any close up pics of it, and did you fab it up?

 

[JimmyR]

Cheers - the front fender is a MAS piece from Italy. It comes with that bracket. All I did was powdercoat the fender which comes as polished alloy. The bracket is black anodised. It wasn't the easiest thing to fit and needed some persuading to sit properly but it looks good now! I really like how it hugs the tyre.

Looks nice! Here's my version of your shadow pic.

 

[JimmyR]

I like your version better! Cool!

Ok, as requested (at last) a pic detail of the front fender bracket. It's an MAS salt flat fender.

New clock on the steering stem so I know when to drop from 60kph to 40 at the local schools. We have so many different speed zones here it's crazy.

Close up of the neat little rear indicator mount.

And my Oberon levers arrived today. Very happy with these.

 

[KingBear]

I can see that this thread is gonna cost me money.

 

[JimmyR]

Sorry! FWIW I'm really happy with my bike right now.
